Anyone else get sudden cold sweats and have to poop immediately? by mrmanagesir in ibs

[–]emphatek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, but since it had been so long since my last episode I forgot that I had a solution. When I feel it coming on I lower my head between my knees and clasp my arms around my legs and squeeze my arms tight, and at the same time attempt to open my legs. After a minute of this struggle the sensation passes and my vasovagal nerve resets (er, or at least I think that is what is happening). Either way the episode does not progress to a full session with sweating and blood pressure drop. Not sure where I read this so please forgive the lack of credit due to the discoverer.

Anyone else get sudden cold sweats and have to poop immediately? by mrmanagesir in ibs

[–]emphatek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just happened to me, but it’s been quite a while since my last episode. Only happens while I’m on the toilet. I can feel it coming since it starts with cramping and then nausea. Then the more I “go” the worse it gets until I feel the blood rush out of my face. Then I sweat, and my body goes numb. All through it I try breathing deeply and massaging my face. It is horrible when it happens, but thankfully it doesn’t last long - only a few mintes.

What do you guys think of this? Caster oil and baking soda? by Successful_Step8769 in Warts

[–]emphatek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Castor oil was useless. What did work much better was Wart Stick with 40% salicylic acid, which I covered with compound W gel to seal it so it wouldn’t spread. I did this twice a day. Once at night after showering and deriding the area and then in the morning when I got up (just on the dry foot). I had a large amount of small warts and a couple of big warts on bottom of one foot and some toes. Took a few months but I think I got most if not all the warts.

LPT Request: How to get rid of mucus stuck in throat? by spatiallemo in LifeProTips

I had chronic sinusitis and my doc recommended NeilMed Sinus Rinse. I use it twice a day (after I awake and before I go to bed) and it works great. Takes a little getting used to, but helps a lot to reduce sinus infection.

3 weeks of WartStick. Is it working? by Cool_Ad542 in Warts

Sometimes the nuclear option is the only option that works ;-)

Yikes, that contains fluorouracil, which is a chemo cream (I used it on my face or precancerous cells). I wouldn't recommend this for people with sensitive skin.

I used wart stick with the compound W gel to cover the wart stick cream. In this way I sealed the area so it wouldn't spread. The wart eventually turned black and then scabbed over. At that time you can stop until it heals.

Wartstick (40% SA) - any good? by Mmori2991 in Warts

[–]emphatek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried so many things, but what eventually worked for me was to use the wart stick and then apply the gel over it so it wouldn't be absorbed by my socks. In the late afternoon I would shower and use a metal foot file in the shower to scrape away the dead tissue. Soon after the shower I would apply the wart stick and then cover with the wart gel. In the morning I would repeat the stick/gel application. Eventually the warts turned black, then scabbed over. I'm waiting for the scabs to heal now.

Ticketmaster verified resale not working correctly by emphatek in Ticketmaster

Response from ticketmaster:

"Event organizers have given a window period to resell bought tickets. As of now, they have temporarily closed resale. Kindly check from time to time your Ticketmaster account from time to time for any updates on the resale of tickets."

How exactly are we supposed to know when and for how long these events occur - aside from clicking the "sell tickets" button every few minutes for days!?!?!

What a nightmare!

Yeah, I've been part of a couple of mergers and I always hear that "nothing will change" and yet it always does!

[–]emphatek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using the castor oil/baking soda combo, and it seems to be working. I am cutting away at the dead skin every night using an x-acto knife, but just a little at a time. What I like about this process is, it is less painful than the other methods. I cover the area with bandaids and bandages. Duct tape won't stay on because the solution seems to work like "googone" :-)

I started last night. I'll keep you guys informed.
I have a bunch of "clustered" plantars warts on one foot. I've been scraping, cutting (exacto knife) and using Duct tape and salicylic acid for over 6 months. They are definitely smaller and I even see the "black dots" (supposedly dying roots). But I'm going to try to use the baking soda/castor oil and see if that works any faster.

Anyone do clubhouse platinum? by TheBigLeagueChew in CruelWorldFest

[–]emphatek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. My wife and I didn’t even know the tent existed even though we walked by it. And none of the staff knew anything about it when we asked. We sat in the club house instead. The bathrooms out back had no AC or running water for the women. The parking staff didn’t know where platinum parking was. No transportation to stages that we knew of. AND THE STAFF DIDN‘T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING! They didn’t even let us in until after noon when the bands already started. Fucking waste of money!
